| Everybody’s Top 5 - Vinyl @tomic601 Our lists have 3 in common--would be a tough choice but i might substitute Van Cliburn and the Chicago Symphony doing Tchaikovsky/Rachmaninoff and I would sub Brothers in Arms for Eva although lacking a female vocalist is tough | |
| Will the placement of casters on speaker stands degrade the performance @johnspain--I faced the same problem with a pair of Rockports and used casters under thick mdf just to move--they locked as jjss49 said--when i found the location they sounded best i removed the mdf with casters and put symposium acoustics platfor... | |
| What phono preamp are you using? Probably can't go wrong with any of them--i have the Herron purchased last year and Keith gave me a deal--call him | |
| Looking for a new phono preamp Hopefully Keith gave you a deal--he did for me 8 months ago and i couldn't be happier with the Herron--replaced a MS Phonomena II although i didn't have the linear power supply so perhaps didn't give it enough credit--disagree that the Herron does... | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? +1 @cal3713 Don't know if "angry" is the right word @mapman - "condescending, know-it-all could easily be substituted. | |
| Increasing bass on floor standing speakers You may find it useful to download a Real Time Analyzer (RTA) to your phone and check your room for bass modes and nulls--then you will see if your listening position is in a null. I use AudioTools but there are many others. You can also use a f... | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) @mathiasmingus--lots of recommendations to ponder--my 2 cents:1.agree with @chorus & others--start with room treatment for harsh highs/mids--easier to address and absolutely necessary before changing speakers2. Those Bryston amps are powerful ... | |
| Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make! @aural_grat--or try to tune a guitar when fully under the influence ! But i've got news for you--on 2.5 mg you are still "stoned"--only just enough for the music, but not enough to be stupefied. As i'm sure you know being in the profession, toda... | |
| Take that to good will @roxy54 --robelvick was just re-doing the OP's post backwards. I'm with the group that wants to know what the point is ? | |
| Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make! @sokogear--ain't that the truth--i leave mine in the system so the bars and pretty lights show up and dance, but it's not in the sound signal loop | |
| The survival of the fittest. @jpwarren58- "Tweak Evangelist" and "Count of Concrete" totally made my day--i'm still laughing.BTW Count of Concrete--You can't say it's all marketing and it's all word of mouth in the same sentence--it's one or the other. | |
| Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make! thanks--sounds like i better talk to a hearing doc about this--always wondered what i've really been missing--is the stereo image weighted to the left side? i haven't really noticed that. Is what i'm missing just "sparkle"--my HF loss is everythi... | |
| Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make! @aj523--Since your hearing is "asymmetrical" (I have exact problem you did--HF loss in right (too much rifle range)) are the aids also tuned asymmetrically ? If you don't really need one for the left ear do you still have to wear one if you use o... | |
| Opening Record Store @fromunda --Based on your lack of response to many questions/advice here i'm gathering you either (a) don't like what you're hearing or (b) did not expect the response you're getting and are re-thinking this--hopefully the latter. Are you unhappy... | |
